Description
本発明の典型的な実施態様において、解剖学的構造の少なくとも１つの部分に関連する画像を評価するためのソフトウエアシステム、装置及び方法が提供される。例えば、解剖学的構造の少なくとも１つの部分に関連する第１の情報、解剖学的構造の少なくとも１つの部分に関連する第２の情報を受け取ることができる。第１の情報と第２の情報との間の関係を決定することにより、第３の情報が作成され得る。更に、所定の病理学的スコアリング基準及び第３の情報を用いて、画像を評価することができる。 In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a software system, apparatus and method are provided for evaluating an image associated with at least one portion of an anatomical structure. For example, first information related to at least one portion of the anatomical structure and second information related to at least one portion of the anatomical structure can be received. By determining the relationship between the first information and the second information, the third information can be created. Further, the image can be evaluated using predetermined pathological scoring criteria and third information.
本発明の更に別の典型的な実施態様においては、第１の情報及び第２の情報は、解剖学的構造のそのような部分のほぼ同じ部分に関して提供することができる。第３の情報は、第１の情報と第２の情報に関連した物理的及び化学的構造に基づいて得ることができる。例えば、所定の病理学的スコアリング基準は、ハジット基準であることができる。画像は、解剖学的構造の部分からの放射光と関連させることができる。光はそのような部分から反射されることができ、光は蛍光であることができる。 In yet another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first information and the second information can be provided for substantially the same portion of such portion of the anatomy. The third information can be obtained based on a physical and chemical structure associated with the first information and the second information. For example, the predetermined pathological scoring criterion can be a Hajit criterion. The image can be associated with emitted light from a portion of the anatomy. Light can be reflected from such portions, and the light can be fluorescent.
